Description

중증 환자를 위한 영문 입력자판{English input keyboard for critically ill patients}English input keyboard for critically ill patients}

본 발명은 중증 환자를 위한 영문 입력자판에 관한 것으로서, 보다 상세하게는 루게릭 병과 같이 정신활동은 가능하나 신체를 거의 움직일 수 없지만 눈동자의 움직임이 가능한 환자가 사용할 수 있는 영문 입력자판에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to an English input keyboard for severely ill patients, and more particularly, to an English input keyboard that can be used by a patient who is capable of mental activity such as Lou Gehrig's disease, but can hardly move his body, but can move his eyes.

일반적으로 의사소통 장애인을 위한 보완 대체 의사소통은 주로 발달장애 아동을 대상으로 한 기술이 많으며, 특히 운동 능력에 제한이 없는 발달장애 아동을 대상으로 한 제품이 주를 이루고 있다. 그러나, 근위축성측삭경화증(Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: ALS), 케네디병(Kennedy Disease: KD), 진행성 연수마비(Progressive Bulbar Palsy: PBP)과 같은 운동신경질환이 있는 성인환자들은 점차 운동 능력에 제한이 생기고, 언어를 사용한 의사소통이 매우 어려운 상황에 이르게 된다.In general, there are many technologies for children with developmental disabilities as complementary and alternative communication for communication disabled people, and especially products for children with developmental disabilities who have no limitation on motor skills are mainly used. However, adult patients with motor neurological disorders such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Kennedy Disease (KD), and Progressive Bulbar Palsy (PBP) gradually have limited motor skills. In other words, it leads to a very difficult situation for communication using language.

이들의 신체의 대부분은 점차 운동능력을 상실하고 최종적으로는 눈 응시 혹은 눈움직임만이 가능한 상태가 되며, 이로 인해 말을 통한 의사소통은 거의 불가능한 상황이 된다. 결국 이들에게는 눈 응시 및 눈움직임이 외부와의 소통을 위한 유일한 신호가 되지만, 종래 이들의 특수한 상황을 고려한 보완 대체 의사소통 관련 제품은 개발이 많이 되어 있지 않은 상황이다.Most of their bodies gradually lose their motor skills, and finally, they are only able to gaze or move their eyes, which makes communication through speech almost impossible. In the end, eye gaze and eye movement are the only signals for communication with the outside, but there are not many developments of complementary and alternative communication-related products taking into account their special circumstances.

근래에는 사용자가 기기를 통해 의사를 표현할 수 있도록 하는 두뇌-컴퓨터 인터페이스(Brain-Computer Interface)와 같은 기술이 개발되고 있다. 이는, 뇌의 활동과정에서 나오는 뇌파를 실시간으로 분석하여 사용자의 의도를 파악하여 키보드를 입력하게 하거나 특정 기기를 동작하게 하는 등 상용화에 성공한 사례가 점차 증가하는 추세에 있다.In recent years, technologies such as Brain-Computer Interface, which allow users to express their intentions through devices, are being developed. This is a trend in which cases of successful commercialization such as real-time analysis of brain waves generated in the brain activity process to grasp the user's intention to input a keyboard or to operate a specific device are increasing.

그러나, 이러한 BCI 시스템은 비교적 고가이기에 일반 사용자가 접하기에 다소 부담스러운 점이 있으며, BCI 시스템을 사용한다 하여도 간단한 의사소통을 위해서 항상 머리에 뇌파를 분석하는 장치를 쓰고 있어야 하는 번거로운 문제가 발생할 수도 있다. 이에, 일반 사용자가 손쉽게 사용할 수 있는 중증 환자와의 의사소통 제품이 개발될 필요성이 높아지고 있다.However, since such BCI system is relatively expensive, it is somewhat burdensome for general users, and even if the BCI system is used, there may be a cumbersome problem in that a device that analyzes brain waves must always be used for simple communication. have. Accordingly, there is an increasing need to develop communication products with severe patients that can be easily used by general users.

본 발명은 근위축성측삭경화증(Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: ALS), 케네디병(Kennedy Disease: KD), 진행성 연수마비(Progressive Bulbar Palsy: PBP)과 같이 신체의 대부분을 움직일 수 없는 운동신경질환을 앓고 있는 중증 환자와의 의사소통이 보다 쉽게 이루어질 수 있는 매개 수단을 제공함에 그 목적이 있다.The present invention is severely suffering from motor neurological diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Kennedy Disease (KD), and Progressive Bulbar Palsy (PBP) that cannot move most of the body Its purpose is to provide an intermediary means for easier communication with patients.

도 3은 본 발명의 실시예에 따른 중증 환자를 위한 영문 입력자판에서 문자를 입력하는 과정을 나타낸 도면으로, 영문 입력자판을 사용하여 하나의 글자를 입력하는 과정을 보여주고 있다.FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a process of inputting characters on an English input keyboard for a severe patient according to an embodiment of the present invention, and shows a process of inputting one character using the English input keyboard.

우선, 환자의 대화상대(보호자)는 환자와의 의사소통을 위해 환자가 영문 입력자판을 볼 수 있는 위치로 최초 영문 입력자판인 통합 글자판(100)을 제시한다. 환자는 의도한 단어를 표현하기 위해 눈동자를 움직여 의도한 단어의 초성에 해당하는 영문 또는 숫자가 포함되어 있는 통합 글자판(100) 내부의 분할 표시창을 응시한다. 이 때, 보호자는 환자의 눈동자 움직임을 관찰하여 환자가 응시하고 있다고 판단되는 분할 표시창을 인식한다.First, the patient's conversation partner (guardian) presents the integrated keyboard 100, which is the first English input keyboard, as a position where the patient can view the English input keyboard for communication with the patient. In order to express the intended word, the patient moves his/her pupils and gazes at the divided display window inside the integrated keyboard 100 including English or numbers corresponding to the initial consonants of the intended word. At this time, the guardian observes the movement of the patient's pupils and recognizes the split display window judged that the patient is staring.

“LIKE”라는 글자를 입력하는 것으로 예를 들어 설명하면, 환자는 'L'이 포함된 8시 방향의 제4 분할 표시창(140)을 응시할 것이며, 보호자는 해당 제4 분할 표시창(140)의 세부 정보를 포함한 제4 세부 글자판(141)을 환자에게 제시한다. 환자는 다시 제4 세부 글자판(141)에서 'L'이 위치한 2시 방향의 제3 섹터(144)를 응시할 것이며, 보호자는 환자의 눈동자 움직임을 보고 문자 입력부(127)에 'L'을 기입한다. 상술한 바와 같은 과정을 거쳐 하나의 알파벳에 대한 입력과정이 수행될 수 있다.For example, by entering the letter “LIKE”, the patient will stare at the fourth split display window 140 at the 8 o'clock position including the'L', and the guardian will see the details of the fourth split display window 140 The fourth detailed dial 141 including information is presented to the patient. The patient will again gaze at the third sector 144 at 2 o'clock where the'L' is located on the fourth detailed dial 141, and the guardian writes'L' on the character input unit 127 after seeing the movement of the patient's pupils. . An input process for one alphabet may be performed through the process as described above.

이어서, 다시 환자에게 전체 글자판(100)이 제시될 수 있다. 환자는 눈동자를 움직여 통합 글자판(100)에 배치된 여러 개의 분할 표시창 중에서 2시 방향의 제3 분할 표시창(130)을 응시할 것이다. 환자가 제3 분할 표시창(130)을 응시하였다고 판단되면, 보호자는 제3 분할 표시창(130)의 문자 정보를 포함한 제3 세부 글자판(131)을 환자에게 제시한다. 환자는 다시 제3 세부 글자판(131)에서 'I'가 위치한 제3 섹터(134)를 응시할 것이며, 보호자는 환자의 눈동자 움직임을 보고 문자 입력부(138)에 'I' 를 기입하며, 이전에 기입된 'L'과 결합하여 'LI'가 기입될 수 있다. 이러한 과정을 'K'와 'E'에 대해 동일하게 반복함으로써 'LIKE'란 단어가 완성될 수 있다.Subsequently, the entire dial 100 may be presented to the patient again. The patient will move the pupil to gaze at the third split display window 130 at the 2 o'clock position among several split display windows arranged on the integrated dial 100. When it is determined that the patient stares at the third split display window 130, the guardian presents the third detailed dial 131 including text information of the third split display window 130 to the patient. The patient will again gaze at the third sector 134 where the'I' is located on the third detailed dial 131, and the guardian will see the movement of the patient's pupils and write'I' in the character input unit 138, and write it beforehand. 'LI' can be written in combination with'L'. By repeating this process equally for'K' and'E', the word'LIKE' can be completed.

상술한 바와 같이, 본 발명의 영문 입력자판은 키보드의 입력방식에 기초하여 환자가 원하는 문자를 환자의 의도에 따라 보호자가 반응하여 순차적으로 선택하고, 선택된 문자를 보호자가 입력함으로써 환자가 의도하는 단어가 완성될 수 있으며, 이에 환자와 보호자 간의 빠른 의사소통이 이루어질 수 있다.As described above, in the English input keyboard of the present invention, based on the input method of the keyboard, the guardian responds and sequentially selects the character desired by the patient according to the patient's intention, and the selected character is inputted by the guardian, thereby Can be completed, thereby enabling rapid communication between the patient and the caregiver.
